No, it’s not reference to a place on a different continent or even a historic event, but the ongoing skirmishes and sometimes all out war that seems to occur on a daily basis in many a mortgage lenders offices’. I myself am usually a daily combatant and like to think of myself as a commander, but I am sure many office managers as well underwriting managers feel the same way. Like myself I am sure they to spend a large part of their researching battle plans and coming up with ways to keep their flanks covered.

I have spent a lot of time reading the new Single Family Handbook (SFH) 4000.1 over the last several weeks to primarily pick up the changes from the HUD – 4155.1 and HUD – 4155.2 and the many mortgagee letters (ML) in use. In my opinion there are about one hundred (100) changes going to take place and effective September 14, 2015. All Mortgage Loan Originators (MLOS), mortgage processors and Direct Endorsed underwriters need to know the changes.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's new integrated disclosure regulations could pose problems for warehouse line providers along with their mortgage lender clients. That's because loans could end up stuck on warehouse lines if originators can't find investors to buy blemished mortgages that don't precisely meet the stringent requirements that take effect in October.
